Description:
|
|
A colourful map entitled 'Scotiae Tabula' by the Dutch cartographer Abraham Ortelius. He effectively invented the regular atlas in 1570 with his 'Theatrum Orbis Terrarum', and with this map in the 1573 edition he set a new standard for cartographers of Scotland. Based, in part at least, on Mercator's 1564 map of the British Isles, this map covers the entire country except for Shetland. The outline of Scotland, with west at the top, is more exact than in previous maps; additionally, the islands are more recognisable in relation to each other, and there is greater detail, such as along the Firth of Clyde. This same map appears in further editions of the 'Theatrum' until 1612, well after Ortelius's death in 1598.
